    day 30 - your favorite song at this time last year​

    FAQ:
    What do I do?
    You start at Day 1 and post a song that you feel represents that title, and then each day you come back and post a new song based on the title for the day that you're on. The challenge ends when you reach day 30. :slight_smile:

    How do I post a song?
    Search for it on Youtube and post a link here. You can either just put the ordinary link, or you can have the video appear on the forum using [Youtube] tags.
    For example, to insert this link: YouTube - Olivia Newton John & ELO - Xanadu
    I would post this on the forum:
    Code:
    [youtube]7m1UWSD-FaA[/ youtube] (remove gap between / and youtube) 
    If done correctly then it will appear like this:
    [youtube]7m1UWSD-FaA[/youtube]
    Note: The video code (after the equals sign on the video link) must be placed between the youtube tags in order for the video to appear.

    What if I can't think of a song?
    Try harder? Post a random one? I dunno, do what you like. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Each song doesn't need to match every day perfectly. Tis only fun after all!

    People have already started and are quite far into it! Can I still join in?
    Absolutely. We can all start whenever we want. It's not a race!

    What's the pointtt? It seems like so much effort!
    It's something to do. It's a good way to get to know people and their music, possibly discover some new or forgotten songs, and just an excuse to post youtube videos. You culd make it even more interactive by commenting on videos that others have posted? Who knows where it could lead? :grin:

    I has anuva question!
    Howwww? It's a very simple concept. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: But if you do then post and I'm sure somebody will kindly answer it for youuu.

    Anyways, let us begin!

    I personally prefer Zombie, but 'tis a good choice, Martin.

    I'm already doing this on Facebook (I'm 14 days in), but I'll play along.

    Day 1 - My favorite song

    This was, sadly, the theme song to my childhood, and though I don't relate to it the way that I used to, it's still the song I enjoy the most. And this isn't just a current favorite; this really is my all-time favorite song.

    I've always wanted to do one of these, but I hate seeing my news feed on Facebook get cluttered with other people's posts that I wouldn't want to contribute my own... Regardless! I'll try to keep up with it here :slight_smile:

    Day One - Favourite Song: "Hear Me Now" by Framing Hanley. Going to see them for the fourth time on July 8th <3

    Day One: The Edge of Glory by the always inspiring Lady Gaga

    My favorite song changes on a near weekly basis, so I just have to go with my favorite at this moment in time. This song makes me so happy, and as weird as it sounds, but I want this song to be the theme song for my first date.

    Favorite song?
    Hand down is this:

    I'm OK, by Christina Aguilera
    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRvG8gtYoZI[/YOUTUBE]

    I goes places where it touches her soul deeply and you can see that in the LIVE performance of the song. She states she could barely rehearse it because she was breaking down in tears, and so I was the first million times I heard it. Still my favorite in my heart.

    :slight_smile:



    EDIT:
    BY THE WAY, I'd like to do an "Award Show" by choosing the top four or five songs of each day and then having people to vote for their faves.


    Choosing the four or five songs per day will be done according to the Song's awards and achievements. Then, the song's album awards and achievements. Then, the artist/singer/group awards and achievements during the year the song was released. If after narrowing things down less than four songs fit the criteria, the category will be voided.

    Sounds convoluted, but I'd love to know what people think. Awards = recognized globally (Billboard, MTV, Grammy, Oscar, Etc.etc.etc) and achievements = basically topping popularity lists (Billboard, iTunes, etc).

    After the categories have been chosen, a (VOTE) thread will be posted and people will be able to cast their votes. I was thinking in doing a poll ér category, but thirty poll threads = SPAMMAGE.

    What do you guys think?

    Day 01: You're favorite song.

    It's a close call, but I'm going to go with Amanda Palmer's song Ampersand.

    Day 01: Your Favorite Song

    It normally changes Week to Week, honestly.

    But the one song I've always liked, even if I totally LOVED another song at the time, is:

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND2-XCcwzt4[/youtube]

    Was true for in my high school, and for the most part, is still true. It's... sad, but it's reassuring to me, that I know other people feel like me.

    Day 01 Your Favorite Song.

    As cheesy as it is this is one of my favorite songs. It makes me think of the strong relationships I share with my closest friends. I know it may sound like a love song, but it can be a song for good friends as well.

    Day 02 - Your least favorite song

    Is it already time for the worst song ever made by man?

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCgoBnSCt0c[/YOUTUBE]
    The first time I heard this song, I could only listen to it for six seconds before I said "fuck this noise" and stopped it. No other song has made me stop listening so quickly. I remember when someone posted a "Worst song ever" thread on this forum, I posted this one and got at least two or three comments about how I had won the thread.

    You know what? This song just blows in every way imaginable. I hate it so much, that I am considering it blasphemy for me to even link it here. May God have mercy on my soul.

    I don't think I even need to bother explaining the horrors of this song.
